女力崛起──我國婦女保障名額存在之必要性

我國選舉女性當選比率屢創新高，不同選舉層級的婦女保障制度如何協助女性參政，而在女性當選比率已穩定高於婦女保障名額現況下，制度是否仍有存在之必要。本研究透過文獻分析及中央選舉資料庫數據，從選舉制度設計及其他影響女性參政因素出發，婦女保障名額制度是否發揮保障女性參政的效用，或有其他更重要的因素。
結果顯示政黨提名在女性參政中扮演了最重要的角色。在選區規模較小的地區，仍需依賴制度給予女性反轉參政弱勢的機會，因此，婦女保障名額仍有存在必要性，且應擴大適用門檻，確保女性公共政策之參與。

As The rate of women elected in Taiwan's elections has record highs, How do women's guaranteed quotas at different electoral levels help women to participate in politics? And is the women's guaranteed quota still necessary when the rate of women elected has been stably higher? Through literature analysis and data from Central Election Database, this study analyzes the design of the electoral system and other factors affecting women's political participation. In order to ascertain whether the women's quota system is effective in protecting women's participation in politics, or whether there are other more important factors.
The results show that party nomination plays the most important role in women's participation in politics. In districts with smaller constituencies, there is still a need to rely on the women's quota system to provide women with opportunities to reverse their disadvantages in political participation. Therefore, there is still necessary to guarantee quotas for women, and the applicable thresholds should be expanded to ensure women's participation in public policies.
